2022 CSA Week 1 Recipes

We’re so excited to begin the CSA season! We want to thank all of our returning members and welcome all of our new ones. If you’re new to our program, here are some things that you should know- We try to use minimal packaging so any leafy produce should be stored in plasticware or plastic bags to keep it humid. If you dont know how to store something ask us and we will be happy to help. We love seeing the food you make so if you ever share something on social media make sure to tag @front9farm. We have a great share to start the season. The leeks and carrots have been grown throughout the winter and should taste nice and sweet. Thank you all for supporting us and our farm!

2021 CSA Week 28 Recipes

We’ve made it to the end of our 2021 CSA season! We’ve strived to grow the best produce we are capable of, and we can honestly say that we put our all into this 2021 season. We’ve improved year over year, as many of our returning members have witnessed, and we hope you’ve created many delicious meals with the help of our produce throughout this season. We included the last of our tomatoes in the share this week. Our blog has 2 really tasty recipes which use green tomatoes. Any additional green tomatoes can be left in a paper bag to ripen (breathing their own gases will help them ripen). The larger ones have the most potential, though it may take a few weeks. The celery greens can also be dehydrated in either the oven on low or in a dehydrator, then stored in a jar for winter use, and the same goes for the carrot greens, which will be a nice green addition to soups and stews in the depths of winter. Thank you for sticking with us through spring, summer, and fall. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season! Thank you for supporting our farm!

2021 CSA Week 27 Recipes

This week we’ve been busy transplanting and direct seeding many root crops, onions, and garlic, which, if you can believe it, will be ready in time for our 2022 CSA season in late April/early May. We’re adding low tunnels to carry the crops through winter, after which their growth will pick up through spring. This week we included a mix of root vegetables in the share If you keep them in a bag in your fridge, they should last a few weeks or longer, though they’ll have the best flavor the sooner you eat them. Since we don’t spray any pesticides their skin has some damage from ground-dwelling insects, but it peels easily and the interior has great texture and flavor. Last week’s frost has made them sweeter, and we really enjoyed them in this week’s root mash, and in the pancake recipe below. The frost also improved the flavor of our leafy greens, so the kale and escarole are very tasty this time of year. We hope you enjoy the second to last share!
